Before creating a survey, clarify the following three points.

| Item                 | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Define the objective | Clarify the purpose of the survey. Examples include:<br />Employee survey: identify communication challenges between departments to improve employee engagement.<br />Device inventory survey: accurately track IT assets per person and per department.<br />SaaS inventory survey: accurately track SaaS tools in use per person and per department. |
| Select respondents   | Based on the survey's objective, decide who should respond (all employees, specific departments, etc.).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Create the questions | Write the questions needed to achieve the objective. State the intent of each question so respondents can understand it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
